Who Wears Short Shorts???

YEAH, it's finally above 50 degrees here!!! Of course I'm not going to look at my weekly weather forecast which has us back in the 30's again on Friday.ugh.Take me back to the South!!!

Ok, so since it's short weather( in the south at least), and J Crew has been running 25% off shorts and additional % of sale, it's time to have this debate.I can safely say that about 80% of my shorts are from J Crew. I think they have the best fit and lots of inch seams to choose from :). I'm hitting or have hit two big milestones this year: 1- Being a Mom!! and 2- Turning 30! I mention these milestones because I need to understand the length of short for my age/life! 

First of all, lets be real, I'm conservative you will not have to worry about this momma going out of the house in too short of shorts. Especially right now since I have about 13 lbs left to lose of baby weight, and these legs are whiter than white! I must admit though I am loving some of J Crew's 3" shorts, but nelly 3" that sounds way too short! However, if I get my butt in gear and get those Carrie Underwood legs (ha, yeah right!) then you better believe I'm rocking those 3" shorts. Even 5" sounds short to me, right?? Do you go back to the grade school rule and make sure your fingertips touch the end of the shorts?

I do love a good pair of bermudas, I think they can be a great compliment to a preppy or sporty outfit. I however think you have to have skinny long legs to look good in Bermudas. I think this Summer I'm going to go with the good ole' grade school rule of fingertips but I am not kidding you;if, no, let me rephrase that WHEN I get my prebaby body back I am going to treat myself to a(or a few) 3' pair of shorts. 

I am also loving lots of the cutoff shorts right now:

Mother has this great pair:
Mother Patchie Shorts
I think this will be my treat once I hit my preweight, or close enough to it :)

For a much cheaper version, I like this pair of Gap cut offs:

Here is a pair of the J Crew 3" that I'm loving:

3" Anchor Shorts


The bear stirs, so that's it for this blog post. Our family has been hit with the stomach bug the past couple of days, so it's definitely going around! Stock up on Lysol and Bleach now, to prevent it from hitting your house!!

My dad aka Poppy arrives today, so we are soo excited!!! Maybe Poppy will treat us to some new shorts :)!!
